The Forest Behind the House
17. Mother's room

Sarah decided to go back to her teacher outside the village. He wanted to ask the genie back for him to keep. Surely, the genie who has more power than the jinn that Yuni has destroyed before.

"Where the hell is she going?" holy Ask when Sarah's mom says goodbye.

"You're going to visit an old relative's house, Chi."

"Old relatives?" holy asked as if in disbelief.

"Yes. What's up?"

"none. The saint just asked."

"You take care of the house. Don't go anywhere. Remember, you don't want you to meet Budi later."

"Why bun? Mother always forbids me to meet Budi. In fact, my mother had never been like this before. In fact, you used to love it when I was close to you."

Miss Sarah took a deep breath. He looked at the Saint with a strange look. The holy gaze itself did not know what the mother meant to look at him like that.

"There are things you don't know, and don't need to know, Saints. All you need to do is, listen to what you're saying."

"But Bun, Saints need a reason."

"Holy, have you not said, there are things you do not need to know. You just follow what you say."

Saints look at Mother with a dissatisfied look. His face was gloomy for a moment. Although he did not say a word, but the mother knew that her son was upset.

Seeing the upset face of Saints, Mother took a deep breath again. He let out that heavy breath violently.

"Holy, don't you know that now Budi is not the same as the old Budi? So please, listen to your mother's words if you want to be safe, son. Mother does not want you to do anything. Close to Budi is the same as looking for problems with subtle creatures, son," said the mother explained.

"Mother, it's not all you want. He wants to live a normal life like before. We have to help him get back to how he was, Bun."

"You don't understand, Holy. Helping Budi is tantamount to provoking a war with these delicate creatures."

"But, Bun .... "

"It's not all that easy as you think, son. So please, listen to what you're saying."

Sacred speechless. He had no more words to argue with his mother. Mother's words are right. But, one side of his heart felt that something was wrong with his mother. Saints feel, there is something you keep from him. But I don't know what. He doesn't know either.

The saint stood upright in front of the tightly closed door of the room. His hand felt heavy to hold the doorknob of the room, but he forced it to keep the door open.

The aura of this room felt different from usual. There was no negative aura and also a heavy burden. Mother's room this time is the same as the other rooms in this house.

To make sure that he was not dreaming, Suci repeated once again what he was doing. He turned around to get out of the room, then went back in. Saints repeat in and out of the mother's room many times.

"Oh my God, I'm bo*doh gini" said Suci as he patted his eel.

Without a second thought, Saints continued their steps. Sacred Eyes wandering around looking at every corner of the mother's room. He wanted to find something that might make up for the curiosity that was in his heart.

Saints browse through each drawer. He opened all the cabinets. But apparently, there is nothing strange about the mother's room. Everything looks as usual. Nothing suspicious.

Tired of looking, Suci also sat on the bed mother. He let out a heavy breath because he was tired.

After his tiredness subsided, Suci decided to leave the mother's room immediately. However, when he woke up from sitting and was about to turn his body, Sacred's leg accidentally bumped into something.

The saint leaned over to see what object had blocked his footsteps. It was a shabby wooden box. An ancient wooden box that seems to be from the colonial era, perhaps.

"What's this box?" holy asked himself while crouching.

"Su ..ci .... "

A heavy voice called out his name. Suddenly, Saints were shocked. He looked around the room, but there was no one. Holy hair stands all. However, he tried to shake off the fear that suddenly spread throughout the body.

Suci refocused on the box he had met just now. However, the voice suddenly called out his name again. This time, the voice was in tandem with the flickering lights of the mother's room.

"Who are you!?" tanya Suci ventured.

"Don't touch the box .." said the heavy voice.

"I asked who you are!"

"I'm behind you, Holy."

Suddenly, Suci immediately looked back.

"Aggghhh." Sacred was shocked while covering her face.
